hmmm... if i'm not wrong, IFS and CTS are two diff person. On every flight, you'll see one IFS. But CTS only comes onboard once a while to check on them during flights.

I don’t know if they have changed this rule since my time but there are stewardesses who can’t swim! In my time, they gave us a choice of swimming the lap with or without life jackets. The priority is to make sure a candidate will JUMP into water without fear or hesitancy. Even during safety-drill training, everyone MUST wear a life-jacket.

This is not the first time I have seem somebody here contradict themselves anybody care to explain?

Plavt.

Ok. Let me re-explain.

When I say "can swim" it means swim a lap without drowning.. lol

1. Back in 1994 (my interview), the batch of girls who made it to the swimming round were asked to swim a lap.

2. The interviewers gave us life-jackets and said that “those who are confident to swim the lap WITHOUT the life-jacket may do so”
